As a general concept I agree, although I must admit that I'm a bit paranoid to reveal my exact location because I have neighbours who love to complain and I have had run-ins with Animal Control in the past because of it. They happened to see my son outside with his BP and OMG suddenly we are a crazy family with 100's of snakes that put their lives in danger. I live in a wonderful reptile-loving community ( sarcasm) where they just declared RTBs illegal because they MIGHT grow to a length of 3m - OK so I guess you know where I am now - , and where they have a totally arbitrary limit of 4 pets per household (yes, that includes any combination of dogs, cats, snakes, mice, goldfish, etc.).
I'm curious as to where you live in S. Ont. I've never heard of this weird 4 pets per household deal before.
Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.
